Last night, S and I watched The Station Agent and fell madly in love with the film. It was similar in some ways to Lost in Translation, but with a less dream-like quality to it. Peter Dinklage was superb, and I really hope to see him in many more things. Patricia Clarkson and Bobby Cannavale were also fantastic. Cannavale in particular managed to create a character that was sypathetic and lovable, while at the same time being annoying and obtuse. No small feat. Highly recommended.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
$650! Shit. (Although it's not really a bad price tag for 50 movies.) Plus, I already have a hanful of movies on that set. Still. *covets* I've seen only about a half of that collection, but have been wanting to see many of the other half for a while.

Criterion really knows how to do a boxed set
Wow, yeah that's impressive. At that prices it's $13 a movie (as opposed to $17 per a the SRP).

Want.
Especially since Criterion movies generally cost upwards of $25.

Damn, that's like being able to put the Library of Alexandria in a picnic basket.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ooh, that's a sweet set right there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
OH! OH OH OH!
We watched Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room this weekend. I know were are sooo late to join that wagon train, but never in my life have I ever been so angry at a movie before.
Ok, that's not true. I was very very very angry at Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. But when it ended, I didn't feel like taking a crap on Ken Lay's grave.
